Bouchard Finlayson was celebrated on the world stage at the Intrepid South African Trade Show in London, where it was announced on 13 September 2017 that its famed 2015 Missionvale Chardonnay received a Gold Award in the International Wine and Spirits competition (IWSC) 2017.

Members of BLACC (the Black Cellar Club) were recently hosted in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley by Bouchard Finlayson, where their visit included a cellar tour, followed by a wine tasting of current vintages, and barrel sample tastings of two classic Italian varietals, Nebbiolo and Sangiovese.
